At Perio Implant Chicago, Drs. Peter Cabrera and Bahareh Sabzehei are dedicated to providing comprehensive periodontal care, including advanced regenerative procedures to address gum, bone, and tissue damage. Whether due to periodontal disease, birth defects, or trauma, these procedures play a vital role in restoring oral health and functionality.
The Impact of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a serious infection that affects the tissues supporting the teeth. It starts when bacteria build up in the pockets between the gums and teeth, leading to inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss. Without intervention, this condition can result in loose or lost teeth and significant damage to the surrounding structures. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment, including regenerative procedures, are essential to halt the disease’s progression and restore oral health.
Available Regenerative Procedures
At Perio Implant Chicago, our regenerative procedures are designed to restore and rebuild damaged tissues, ensuring long-term oral health and stability.
- Bone Regeneration: Bone regeneration, also known as bone grafting, is a crucial procedure for patients requiring dental implants. If the jawbone has been compromised due to periodontal disease or other factors, bone grafting can rebuild the lost bone. This procedure involves placing a graft material in the deficient area to stimulate new bone growth, creating a solid foundation for successful implant placement.
- Gum Tissue Regeneration: Gum recession exposes the tooth roots and can lead to sensitivity and aesthetic concerns. Gum tissue regeneration involves grafting healthy tissue to the areas where the gums have receded. This procedure helps restore the gumline, protect tooth roots, and enhance the overall appearance of the smile.
- Pocket Reduction Surgery: Deep pockets between the teeth and gums provide a breeding ground for bacteria. Pocket reduction surgery involves reshaping the gums to reduce these pockets, making it easier to keep the area clean and less hospitable to harmful bacteria. This helps to prevent further progression of periodontal disease.
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure targets the surfaces of the teeth and roots to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Scaling and root planing are often combined with antibiotic therapies to control bacterial infections and promote healing.
